"Chess pieces?"

When Qi Lin heard Xiao Lei say this, he immediately understood the relationship between "free will" and the Beiling Consortium - this so-called resistance organization disguised by the work of the Pawa Army was completely established by the Beiling Consortium.

Many people think that rebels and consortia should be on opposite sides of incompatibility, but in fact, many rebel organizations have received funding from various forces in secret, and even some "rebels" are simply secret troops under a certain consortium.

Before that, those big conglomerates would indeed use a method similar to fishing law enforcement, luring potential rebels to form secret societies, and then put them together, and many of the so-called rebel groups in the Vault were mostly such traps, however, after the opening of the wasteland virtual world, the controllers of those consortia found that there seemed to be a better solution to this problem.

Although the consortium alliance unites most of the consortium together, in the consortium and the consortium, new and old hatreds, and various conflicts of interest are not so easy to eliminate, and if there is an opportunity, everyone will be happy to put their opponent to death, even though that opponent is now their nominal ally.

However, conflicts between members are explicitly prohibited within the consortium – of course, this conflict only includes purely physical conflicts, such as war, assassination, etc., while commercial competition is unrestricted.

But as we all know, if you want to defeat your opponent, the best way is to destroy his body directly, so that he will not leave the opponent with any chance to turn the tables.

And this kind of dirty work will naturally have to be handed over to some people who can't see the light to do.

Between conglomerates, those who do this kind of dirty work are generally referred to as "shadow troops" or "secret troops".

But it's not enough to have secret forces, the conglomerates also need a big boss to take the blame - and the name of the rebel army has become an excellent reason.

Someone once made a statistic that nearly one-third of the rebel organizations in the entire wasteland world have material subsidies from unknown sources, and this one-third of the rebels is likely to be a "secret army" raised by a certain consortium to do dirty work.

"Free will" is such a being.

The two consortia, the Beiling Consortium and the Prey Consortium, the former is an old consortium, which started with manufacturing, and at the beginning of the 20th century, it has completely controlled the civilian manufacturing industry of dozens of small countries in Europe and Asia, and also occupies a certain share in the arms market, while the Prey Consortium is a rising star, relying on futures and stocks to amass a huge amount of wealth, and in addition to the financial industry, the Prey Consortium has a lot of gray businesses under its name, such as smuggling, drugs, reselling cultural relics, and so on......

The two did not have much intersection, and they could not fight together, so it stands to reason that there should not be a conflict, but just recently, the Prey consortium set its sights on the business of new rifles, using the huge liquidity in its hands, after buying the production rights of new assault rifles, it suddenly monopolized a large number of steel used to make firearms, and opened a number of weapons factories in various places for the production of new ten-millimeter assault rifles.

In this way, the Pré Consortium can be regarded as directly forming the most direct competitive relationship with the Beiling Consortium.

No wonder "free will" would rob the Pré consortium's auctions, perhaps this was just the beginning......

……

"Chess pieces, since they are chess pieces, then you should understand that if your identity is exposed, or if you lose value to them, then the Beiling Consortium will definitely kick you away without hesitation, and may even beat you upside down...... At that time, do you know what your situation will become? Qi Lin said in a deep voice.

The Beiling Consortium is not a fool, the existence of "free will" is just for the sake of doing dirty work, as long as it doesn't poke out any big baskets, the alliance will still turn a blind eye to the small actions of these consortiums, but in case the Beiling Consortium crosses that line, then things are not so simple.

For the Beiling Foundation, "free will" is not only a tool, but also a consumable item that can be discarded at any time, once this tool catches fire, in order to prevent it from being burned, they will definitely throw this tool far away.

At that time, these people of free will, the end is self-evident.

"I know...... So I'm also trying to find a way, I'm cultivating my own forces, and when the time comes, I'll find a way to bring my parents back first, and then draw a line with the Beiling Foundation......" Xiao Lei said with a snort.

"You know? You know! This is a thief ship, and it is a thief ship with a hole in the bottom of the ship, and it will sink sooner or later, so don't even think about coming down when you get on! You think you can draw a line with the Beiling Foundation, do you think that the people of the Beiling Foundation have not thought of this? They have all the information about you, and once the time comes, your name will be directly on the wanted lists of the various Vaults, and not only the army and the enforcers will remember your appearance, but even those who are attracted by the high bounties will carry rusty knives and search for your traces in the tunnels. ”

"I ......"

"You will have nowhere to go, no way out, the so-called resistance, that's just a joke, you even need to rely on the oxygen supply of the shelter for the air you need to breathe, do you really think you can fight the whole world?"

"So, I'm training my own people, and we might be able to ...... when the time comes."

"Raise your own people...... I can guarantee that the first person to betray you will be the people around you. Qi Lin said with some disdain, "Moreover, even if you can really survive, what are you going to do?" It's still a few years before the doors of the shelter open, and for the past few years, have you lived like those 'ghosts' in abandoned tunnels, catching bloodthirsty rats and bugs to feed your hunger? Qi Lin showed no mercy at all, and poured buckets of cold water on Xiao Lei's head one after another.

"But...... But...... My mother is still lying in the hospital of the Beiling Foundation......" Finally, Xiao Lei's face showed a dejected expression.

Qi Lin was silent, he looked at Xiao Lei, and then at the gray sky outside the window, and suddenly, he seemed to understand Xiao Lei's reason for doing that.

He doesn't have parents, to be precise, he has long forgotten everything related to his parents, but Xiao Lei is different.

That desperate sense of powerlessness, maybe at that time, almost swallowed Xiao Lei...... Maybe he is right, only by becoming a pawn of the Beiling Consortium can he live, and his parents can live.

Qi Lin sighed, jumped off the table, and walked in front of Xiao Lei.

"In that case, be careful yourself, try not to do anything too radical, and it's best to live until the day the door of the vault opens, and there may be a turning point when you get to the ground."

But to be honest, Qi Lin didn't know if Xiao Lei could wait until that day, maybe next time, "free will" would become a victim of the collision between the two big conglomerates......
